Tubing Tips on the Lower Pigeon River
- Do not take any valuables with you. They could end up at the bottom of the river. If you need to take your keys, phone or wallet, we suggest you place them in a waterproof container.
- Have plenty of water on hand. You can dehydrate quickly. Bring snacks and make sure you do not litter in the river to keep it clean for everyone. Do not bring glass containers or Styrofoam coolers.
- Alcoholic beverages are NOT PERMITTED on the River. (It’s illegal and not a good idea.) Have your drinks of choice after you arrive safely back on land.
- Apply sunscreen several times. The Lower Pigeon River reflects the sun’s rays and you can burn quickly.
- Bring a hat and cheap sunglasses.
- Wear water shoes or old sneakers. The Lower Pigeon River’s bottom can be rocky or muddy. (Flip Flops are not a good idea.)
- Wear a life vest, especially if you or your child is not a strong swimmer. You can hit some rapids and get tossed out of the tube.
